Caption : I cannot express how incredibly surprised and honored I was to accept the Visibility award last month from the @humanrightscampaign . It means so much to me to be recognized by an organization working so hard to ensure dignity, compassion and equality for the members of our community, and I will be forever grateful for their support and encouragement. After three years of this pandemic, itās been hard to feel connection to much of anything thatās outside of our immediate bubble- this was a beautiful and timely reminder that the impact of our words can reach far and wide, even if our arms cannot. Thank you again, HRC- me and my dad will never forget this special night ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø (also Iām wearing a hacked strapless jumpsuit combining a bodice pattern from a sewing book and the @helens__closet #winslowculottes in jacquard from @wearethefabricstore LOL)!Likes : 6690

Caption : These are the #proteapants by @paradisepatterns in Kolkata fabric from @stonemountainfabric and I am in absolute love! Wide pants havenāt been my jam since JNCOs quietly excused themself from my delia*s catalogues so I was surprised at how excited I was to make, wear and style these but *wow* they did not disappoint. Going up to a size 61ā hip, these comes in two views, one with the deep pleat like what Iām wearing, and one without. I only made a couple adjustments to these- I changed the side seam pocket to a curved one because they lay on my body better, and I edge stitched the fold of my pleat on the front and back to make sure it stayed crispy and clean looking. Iāve always been so fearful of wide pants without heels underneath them because Iām afraid they will swallow me up since Iām on the short side, and Iām so glad I was wrong- I canāt wait to pair them with sandals and other flats! All of Paradise patterns have been a real joy to make- she always includes some technical tidbit in the instructions that Iāve never heard of that I can then add to my sewing vocabulary and I LOVE how she included instructions to get a top stitched look or a clean look- I usually just automatically top stitch pants because I learned this with jeans making and just stuck with it but excluding top stitching gives you a slightly different look and itās those details that I am always thrilled to see included in indie sewing patterns. I absolutely want a summery pair in maybe a yellow or pastel pink? Not sure yet, but I definitely have more pairs of these in my future. Sweater is knitted from a pattern designer I wonāt name, belt is memade and shoes are RTW chucks ā¤ļø! PS we got a new fence! No more diamond encrusted metal wire for us (IYKYK lol)! I can finally take pics outside on our own property that donāt look awful š„¹Likes : 6649

I am so lucky š„¹!!ā This is another version of the #knowme2027 jumpsuit in a meticulously pattern-matched checked fabric from @blackbirdfabrics , topped off with a brown linen from my stash. Big fan of this pattern, no mods and fit is amazing, plus great pockets (instructions a little questionable/unclear at times which I highlighted in my previous make). Woke up to so many incredible messages of love and sweetness from people on this app- thank you all so much for taking time in your day to throw some love on me š„¹ Thanks to all my friends that were a part of my special surprise day today and thanks the most to @savageblackout who is already making 44 stand out as big, bold and beautiful!

Caption : Its my birthday!!!! Welcome, welcome 43! My birthday has always been my favorite holiday of the year but as I get older it has become even more important to celebrate, with real joy and sincerity, all my years. We live in a culture that has historically shamed women for surviving and even thriving as they get older, a fact that continues to shock me as I feel myself get stronger, wiser, more thoughtful, more open to my community, more rooted in who I am and who I want to keep growing into. How could the world not want to celebrate this, too? But thereās the rub- itās harder to control people when they realize their worth isnt, and was NEVER, connected to the systems put in place by the patriarchal powers that be. I know that unlearning the internalized misogyny/homophobia/racism/fat phobia weāve been fed all these years will be a lifelong journey but if this is the stuff that keeps making me feel connected to myself and proud of who I am, then BRING IT šš½My birthday dress this year is the #nicksdress (up to 60ā bust, 63ā hips) by one of my favs, @closetcorepatterns in an Egyptian cotton from @blackbirdfabrics that I bought during their Black Friday sale last year. I had enough fabric leftover to make CJ a matching gosling shirt by sew sew def patterns and we got a cute pic with our neighborās dog who also got the color story memo š This year I want to make more room for writing in my life so Iām getting back into blogging (yay!) and Iāll share more about making this dress soon when I reveal my site makeover later on this month. For now, welcome spring, welcome creative inspiration in whatever shape it takes, welcome rest and welcome peace!Likes : 5321

Caption : I bought the yarn for this sweater on New Yearās Eve. Iām going through an amicable but incredibly sad separation right now so splurging on new yarn in service to self care seemed like a kind way to ring in the new year. Little did I know that I would power through this sweater in the coming days as wildfires raged through my city and my anxiety shot through the roof. Knitting is like breath; your needle reaches through a blank space to find the loop of yarn, inhale. Once the yarn is looped around it, the needle reverses backwards to pull the yarn through- exhale. One stitch completed. Again: Needle into the abyss, needle back out. Over and over again. Dozens of times. Hundreds of times. Thousands of times, until you have a moderately regulated nervous system and a finished sweater vest in your lap. I am powerless over the universe, powerless to tragedy, to grief, to loss. The only thing I have power over is me. Iām grateful that I am safe, and I am grateful for these hands. Happy knitting.#sewing Sweater: library card sweater Jeans: Persephone pants Top: vintage big 4 Shoes and belt: memadeLikes : 4881

Caption : This has been in heavy rotation this summer, which was an unexpected surprise. I thought it might be too dressed up to wear casually but I was wrong- itās surprisingly comfortable and feels like a regular sundress, although itās clearly anything but. I was inspired to make this after I saw @whatkatiewears and @ravelout ās versions. The pattern is the #oonadress by @vikisews, a Russian pattern company. The instructions were surprisingly great as Iāve found that a lot of translated instructions can be a bit sparse or lacking. But these came with good pics, detailed instructions and was easy to follow, which was important considering the unique construction. It came together pretty quickly by using facings to create tunnels for all the elastic and the drawstring. My only suggestion would be to keep as many of your elastic casings open on one end as possible til most of the dress is constructed, then try it on to make sure the elastic lengths are comfortable for you; I had to shorten my neck elastic by several inches in order for it to feel secure. Others who made this dress ended up having to stitch the center up a couple of inches so they wouldnāt feel too exposed which is a great fix, but my B cups are able to feel totally fine in such a low cut. Someone once told me they were āblessed by the booby godsā cause they were so well endowed, and it really changed my perspective on my own relationship with my body because I also think I was blessed by the booby gods, but for the opposite reason šdespite what uber self conscious high school Jasika thought was desirable in the 90ās, it turns out that I adore my small boobs! They are so easy to manage! I could run for an hour without a bra and not hurt! I can go braless in a t shirt and no one will even notice. I can wear inexpensive bras and still feel supported! Moral of the story is, a true blessing is one that brings you peace, whatever that may look like.

Caption : I am pretty sure that this dress has gotten more compliments from strangers in one afternoon of wear than anything else I have ever made! Iām so surprised! Not that it isnāt beautiful, itās just an unexpected make from my norm. The bold, pretty fabric is from @wearethefabricstore (gifted as an ambassador) which I chose because of the stunning chartreuse and dark green color combo, but I was stumped as to what to make with it. Then I remembered this cool tik tok video Iād seen a while back where a sewist named @g00dbad_ a low-to-zero waste dress out of a bedsheet and she very generously shared the template so that others could recreate it. Itās not a pattern exactly, but based on just a couple of your own measurements, itās easily translated into a great wrap dress (very similar to vintage walk away dress patterns) that is very size/gender/age inclusive. I didnāt have a bed sheet to work with but I did have this fabric which I was still able to finagle the dress out of with a little problem solving. The result is so dynamic, with a vintage fit and flare silhouette paired with an impactful print. I didnāt change much to the basic instructions Cara gave but I did add interfacings and facings to my waistband, a buttonhole to one side of my dress opening for the belt to slide through, and I faced my belt with a complimentary fabric because I ran out of my main fabric.

Caption : I am pretty sure that this dress has gotten more compliments from strangers in one afternoon of wear than anything else I have ever made! Iām so surprised! Not that it isnāt beautiful, itās just an unexpected make from my norm. The bold, pretty fabric is from @wearethefabricstore (gifted as an ambassador) which I chose because of the stunning chartreuse and dark green color combo, but I was stumped as to what to make with it. Then I remembered this cool tik tok video Iād seen a while back where a sewist named @g00dbad_ a low-to-zero waste dress out of a bedsheet and she very generously shared the template so that others could recreate it. Itās not a pattern exactly, but based on just a couple of your own measurements, itās easily translated into a great wrap dress (very similar to vintage walk away dress patterns) that is very size/gender/age inclusive. I didnāt have a bed sheet to work with but I did have this fabric which I was still able to finagle the dress out of with a little problem solving. The result is so dynamic, with a vintage fit and flare silhouette paired with an impactful print.

Caption : My latest make for @wearethefabricstore in a floaty, lightweight liberty tana lawn that I colorblocked in yellow and blue. The dress is partly hacked and partly self drafted- the bodice took some time to get right (now that Iāve labored on this Frankensteined bustier Iām sure a bunch of pattern companies will come out with the perfect pattern that I have been searching for for months lol) but Iām happy with how it turned out and absolutely love the silhouette on me! Clogs are memade and omg after rolling my hair yesterday I realized that my hair is exactly the style I was hoping to get when I got my awful haircut last august! The growing out will continue cause I miss the versatility of longer hair but at least this is progress! More details on this make at jasika.com šLikes : 3602

Caption : I kind of lost steam before #memademay2023 even began this year. I thought I wouldnāt participate until I started looking at past MMMs and seeing how my style, skill, and feelings have changed in regards to the clothes Iāve made and shared over the past 8 years. Iāve been talking through these in my stories and comparing old fits to what Iām wearing today, and itās been eye opening. Iām in awe that I have gotten so much good wear out of so many wonderful pieces and Iāve been inspired to remake some and re envision others. Honing in on a color palette has really elevated my wardrobe in the most unexpected ways and I feel like my clothes are telling a more cohesive and interesting story about who I am than I ever dreamed possible. Itās been such a treat to feel excited about this challenge again, and thanks all who have joined in ā¤ļø May1: Phillipa pants, stretch n sew rugby, memade belt shoes May 2: Phillipa pants, hand knit sweater (my color blocking on an unnamed sweater design) May 3: burda jumpsuit May 4: ice dyed vintage stretch n sew rugby Alphonse trousers * memade belt May 5: hacked jumpsuit @imadethatbag Nerissa coat May 6: vintage dress memade shoes May 7: Elizabeth Suzanne Clyde JumpsuitLikes : 3479

Caption : I finally made a gay audacity video š I want it to be known that my audacity is primarily black, femme and cheap, but it definitely intersects with my queerness, too! After getting the cracked ceiling and walls in our office replaced and painted, I decided the room deserved a nice, new bookshelf in lieu of the unsturdy aluminum one we had had for 10 years. But all the nice RTW bookcases I found were upwards of $1500 a piece (we needed two) and I didnāt want to get something cheap from ikea that might not last as long as I needed it to (no shade to ikea- I love that store, but many of their items can be categorized as fast furniture and I wanted something with more longevity). I found the Puzzle Bookshelf plans at @anawhitediy ās website, my favorite for free, accessible furniture plans, and I have been making her projects ever since I learned how to build furniture from her book, The Handbuilt Home, of which I am a huge fan. The shelves took about 3 weeks to build cause I was working on my own and trying not to rush the process, and cost me something around $500-$600. I decided to turn the removable cubbies that connect the bookcases into cabinets with doors so I could hide our printer and files and after reading @dabito ās home dec book, I was inspired to use caning for the doors to elevate the look and add another organic dimension to the build- Bear wanted the room to feel like they were in a beautiful woodsy area with dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, and the caning lends itself to that aesthetic so nicely. Although I was so sick of this project in the last leg I am utterly pleased with how gorgeous this project turned out and I am pleased by my own tenacity and stubbornness to see it the end. This isnāt the most complicated build Iāve made but itās physically the biggest and my oh my the Learning Successesā¢ļø I had throughout could fill a book! Hereās to tapping into your own delusional maker audacity that, with a little patience and a lot of gumption, can become a reality too! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøLikes : 3375

Caption : I didnāt hop onto the quilted jacket trend til @byhandlondon released the #NerrisaCoat pattern a couple months ago. I loved the collar, the oversized fit and the long length, three elements that I had not previously seen in quilted coat patterns, and I had the *perfect* fabric for it- a geometric reversible quilted cotton smack in the middle of my color palette from @corefabrics. The pattern is very simple, pretty beginner friendly, and requires very little fit adjusting because itās so oversized. I made the smallest size available (it goes up to a size E/ 61.75ā bust) but itās still incredibly roomy, like I could probably fit a sweater AND another coat under this lol. If I were to make it again I would probably slim down the fit by a couple inches and shorten it to shin length, which I might still do, but I wanted to get some wear out of this length before I chopped it up. I opted not to add buttons to the front and just have this be a kind of open jacket for layering. I made the bias binding myself and this is the only issue I had with the pattern- it says you need 5 meters of binding but I easily used 3 times that much for this view (I stopped counting after the third time I had to pull out my tools to make more tape šµāš«), so maybe that amount was meant for the shorter version of the jacket (because it doesnāt give different amounts for the different views). Thankfully I had just enough tencel scrap fabric to make all the tape I needed. The bias binding gives the jacket a nice pop of color while still feeling a bit neutral and I love how the colors in the fabric and tape play off of each other. Iām on the fence about the patch pockets on my version and think it would look even better with inset pockets, and because of the bulk of the quilted fabric, the drop sleeves look a little funky at the seams(I prefer inset sleeves). But those design choices are what makes this such a simple and quick pattern to finish, and Iām still happy with how this came out. The fabric is structured but soft and wearing it feels like youāre draped in a blanket cocoon- it actually makes a pretty great housecoat if youāre careful to not trip over it šLikes : 3298

If I were to make it again I would probably slim down the fit by a couple inches and shorten it to shin length, which I might still do, but I wanted to get some wear out of this length before I chopped it up. I opted not to add buttons to the front and just have this be a kind of open jacket for layering. I made the bias binding myself and this is the only issue I had with the pattern- it says you need 5 meters of binding but I easily used 3 times that much for this view (I stopped counting after the third time I had to pull out my tools to make more tape šµāš«), so maybe that amount was meant for the shorter version of the jacket (because it doesnāt give different amounts for the different views). Thankfully I had just enough tencel scrap fabric to make all the tape I needed. The bias binding gives the jacket a nice pop of color while still feeling a bit neutral and I love how the colors in the fabric and tape play off of each other. Iām on the fence about the patch pockets on my version and think it would look even better with inset pockets, and because of the bulk of the quilted fabric, the drop sleeves look a little funky at the seams(I prefer inset sleeves). But those design choices are what makes this such a simple and quick pattern to finish, and Iām still happy with how this came out. The fabric is structured but soft and wearing it feels like youāre draped in a blanket cocoon- it actually makes a pretty great housecoat if youāre careful to not trip over it šLikes : 3298

Caption : I made the #mothwingcapelet by @minimalistmachinist last November and it was the *perfect* project to reignite my connection to sewing after taking a little hiatus. Iāve never made a pattern quite like it before- the instructions were sparse which was a little uncomfortable for me initially, but I think that was part of the magic- it gives you so much room to experiment and explore and make the wings super unique to you. Everything I used was from my stash and remnants of other projects except for the multi colored pieces on the front, which was actually a carpet sample I found at @remainders_creative_reuse . Wasnāt sure what inspired me to buy it but of course Iām so glad I did because when I ran out of the faux suede for the main body of the wing it allowed me to be inventive and create a more dynamic palette! The faux suede was leftover from throw pillows, the furry leather a bucket bag, the snakeskin-like leather is from a pair of shoes, the gold is what I used for my buddy Quinnās Xmas gift, and the silk velvet is from the cris woods envelope dress I made last year. I am still stunned at the silhouette of this- from the side it really looks like moth wings at rest! What a fun project from a super talented, generous and out-of-the-box maker who is always contributing to the community in cool ways ā¤ļø I would suggest this project for intermediate makers and beginners with a knowledgeable buddy to talk them through any tricky parts (experiential know-how is important for this pattern as she doesnāt hold your hand through it, but my partner, a very beginner sewist, made a gorgeous pair with my help).

Caption : Either my neck has grown since the last time I made this pattern or I somehow mixed up my pattern pieces and made it too tight to button the neck comfortably- regardless, Iām not really a Top Button Buttonerā¢ļø so this has been a non-issue for me- I just left off the neck button and hole and voila š! Iāve also realized over the years that, though I love the tailored look of collared shirts, they have a tendency to make my neck disappear, while band collars make it look slightly longer, just a smidge more graceful. This is of course a personal preference- while I think pretty much all fashion ārulesā are complete bologna, I think itās also important to wear what makes you feel like a bad bitch, and band collars do just that. Thatās not to say I wonāt ever wear or make a standard collared shirt again, but I like having staple design details in my arsenal that I can always rely on to give me a fit that I love. I used TNT Butterick 5526 for this shirt which has several classic views included (Iām a big fan of the princess seam view too!) and I sized down to an 8 to avoid dealing with the all the weird excess ease. It fits perfectly in the body but again, I might need to adjust that neckline if I want a button at the top! I bought these buttons at some secondhand shop a while back and never imagined I would use them but they look so cool with this shirt- a nice pop of design. The plaid cotton voile in red/blue from @wearethefabricstore was delightful to sew- itās very lightweight and floaty and has a bit of transparency to it but it doesnāt feel see-through at all- the graphic print does a good job of covering up what is underneath. Itās excellent both for layering in cooler months (as Iāve done here) and I plan to wear it alone in hotter climates because the fabric is just so breezy and breathable. And as my friend Cyndi told me, itās the perfect bright red for the lunar new year! Iāve paired the shirt with my #jennyoveralls by @closetcorepatterns adjusted for a slim, straight leg.Likes : 3211

Caption : Summer is for coordinating sets! Iāve had vintage repro simplicity 1426 in my stash for a long time and *finally* got inspired to make it. The top has lots of cute views and I could have made any of them work with these #gojishorts by @deer_and_doe_patterns , a very cute pattern Iāve made once before, but this combo is š¤š½. Goji has an elastic waist, lots of ease and it looks like a skirt at first glance (altho the pattern comes with a skirt version as well). I think these would be cute lengthened to pants, too- maybe Iāll try that one day. Fabric is a nice cotton I got at the last LA fabric swap and the shoes are by @melissashoes_id which are the perfect color for 50% of my wardrobe (curated color palette is really shining brightly for me lately) and are surprisingly light weight and got me through an entire week of vaycay in NYC with no real blisters (I preemptively bandaged up the pinky toes to be safe which was a good call). This was the only clothing I made expressly for my NYC trip and though it hung out on my friendās couch for most of the day while we ate olives and bacon, a random lady on Bedford yelled out āYou look ADORABLE!ā on my way there and I honestly couldnāt ask for more than that cause let me tell you what Brooklynites are NOT trying to do- give you compliments just for the hell of it. Thank you, random lady, thank you to all my NYC friends who hung out with me and showed me so much big love (except for my one friend who stood me up, you know who you are lol) and thank you NY for continuing to be my very favorite city on the planet, garbage smells and allšš½Likes : 2677

Caption : The gorgeous marbled #SmultronDress by @paradisepatterns that I made at the beginning of the year unfortunately suffered a mishap in the wash and got dyed green in some spots š (pls, no advice on how to get stains out, thx). Iām sure I will wear it as a house dress once the sadness dissipates a little lol. But til then, I wanted to make another version that I could enjoy, untarnished. Since my first version was made with @corefabrics it seemed only fitting that my replacement version feature their fabric too. This viscose with zigzag print is just *chefs kiss*. Perfectly situated in my seasonal palette, itās soft, itās flowy (tried to capture itās movement with the camera) and feels like a breezy silk. In a cruel twist of fate, I didnāt have enough fabric to make the extended length of the dress I wanted to, but instead of abandoning my plan I just amended it. I had a long cut of this off white dupioni silk in my stash and decided to sub it in for the back panel I was missing from my main fabric. It was risky mostly because the white silk is not quite as flowy as the viscose, but I was confident that it could be a design feature- a dress not only print and color blocked, but structure blocked too. It came out better than I thought it would- the change in fabric doesnāt bother me at all, and itās still a really swishy, sexy dress to wear- it feels like itās dancing around your body! I canāt wait to wear it at an event with my black high heel clogs! Big fan of this and the others from @paradisepatterns and of course always loving the work that the @closetcorepatterns /@corefabrics team does, too š summer hat by @byvladainsta šLikes : 2589

Perfectly situated in my seasonal palette, itās soft, itās flowy (tried to capture itās movement with the camera) and feels like a breezy silk. In a cruel twist of fate, I didnāt have enough fabric to make the extended length of the dress I wanted to, but instead of abandoning my plan I just amended it. I had a long cut of this off white dupioni silk in my stash and decided to sub it in for the back panel I was missing from my main fabric. It was risky mostly because the white silk is not quite as flowy as the viscose, but I was confident that it could be a design feature- a dress not only print and color blocked, but structure blocked too. It came out better than I thought it would- the change in fabric doesnāt bother me at all, and itās still a really swishy, sexy dress to wear- it feels like itās dancing around your body! I canāt wait to wear it at an event with my black high heel clogs!

Caption : Savage calls this dress š¶GinghnamStyleš¶ and I am calling it š„ The Pickle Dressš„- both are pretty accurate! I was inspired by a checked Mara Hoffman wrap dress that floated across my Pinterest once and couldnāt get out of my head. I planned on hacking several different patterns together to make it but luckily a fellow instagrammer reached out to show me McCalls 8035 which would be a way closer twin to the Mara Hoffman garment with only a few tweaks. I ended up using the bodice sleeves of the Elodie dress by @closetcorepatterns instead of the set in sleeves of the McCalls because I ā¤ļøadoreā¤ļø that subtle little shoulder peeking out and I knew I could achieve this best with a grown on sleeve. I also adjusted the back bodice piece to have a V-neck line at the back to give the sleeve more space to dip off the shoulder. I changed the waistline of the bodice and skirt to accommodate a wider piece of elastic like the inspo dress (I used 1.5ā wide elastic), zigzagged across the elasticized waistband to make it more stable, added some elastic to the sleeve hems and finally I stuck a bra strap holder to the shoulder seam so that when I wore it off my shoulder my bra strap wouldnāt try and creep into frame. My sleeves have slightly more drama and the skirt is a touch more billowy than the inspo but all in all I think I nailed this hack. It includes all the markers of what I initially loved about the inspo dress- a fun graphic print ā in a color I love ā in linen, a fabric I love (this gingham is gifted from @wearethefabricstore and is very excellent) ā , with a romantic, flowy silhouette ā that looks great with this hair length lol ā I tried to recreate the inspo photo in front of our white garage door but it was so bright outside that the pics came out grainy- hopefully the vibes still translate šLikes : 2499

Caption : These #MitchellTrousers by @closetcorepatterns are such a welcome addition to my pattern stash- I have a lot of great slim fit trousers in my arsenal but way less chic wide legged patterns to play around with and I absolutely love this cool, funky silhouette! Iām feeling a little Annie Hall pairing these pants with this hat (RTW from a leather and hat store in Santa Fe); if I just had a little vest to throw over this true bias turtleneck I would be set! The @wearethefabricstore fabric is š„¹š„¹š„¹ exceptional. Itās a heavyweight viscose twill in pumpkin and Iāve never sewn with anything quite like it. It somehow manages to be thick and squishy while also feeling floaty and hanging fluidly. You ever go to a really high end store or like, a Bloomingdaleās, and thumb through the really expensive garments and wonder āwhat the hell kind of fabric is this??ā because itās THAT luxurious? This is the fabric they are using lol. I would get it in every color if they had more! One important thing to know is that this fabric must be handled with care- despite its heaviness, itās surprisingly delicate and it does not like lots of pin holes or the fabric will snag. It requires extra attention but these pants were worth every ounce of care I put into them. As always, the pattern is thoughtful with interesting details (the adjustable side ties!!!) and I canāt wait to make a lighter weigh pair for warmer months! Oh, and outfit also features my new fanny pack from @imadethatbag – I am over the moon in love with it and have used it every single day since I bought it. Lots of great styles, you can request different leather, the pouches are removable so you can choose different colors to match your fit, and itās beautifully made- thrilled to spend money at a small woman owned business like Lornaās! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøLikes : 2494

Caption : My first time sewing up a @daughterjudypatterns piece and Iām highly recommend. I used some new techniques that Iāve never used on a button up before which was fun, and I decided to omit interfacing for everything except a narrow strips for my button band facings and I love the super loose, relaxed fit it gives. I sized down as I wanted a slightly less oversized fit and Iām so happy with how it came out in this upcycled cotton from @wearethefabricstore . Gives a little bit of pajama vibes and is a nice neutral that will look good with a lot, plus I LOOOOOOVE the split hem for tucking in. Fantastic piece š¤©!Likes : 2366

Caption : I want to close out the year having documented my last couple months of making, which was inspired by finding my-my-my sewjoā¤ļø 1. I finally decided to learn to read crochet patterns, and being a lifelong knitter, Iām glad I got over myself, as crochet has been scratching the itch that knitting has failed to accomplish the last couple years. I made this shawl mimosa by fiore in a couple weeks with yarn from @missceliespants that I only know as being an Italian wool and feeling like a silky cotton (as someone thatās sensitive to lots of wools that others seem to tolerate just fine, thatās saying a lot). 2. A crocheted doll for my new young friend Ruby ( pattern by @sweetsofties – she also has a little penis pattern that is so cute I might have to make some to give as gifts!) 3. speaking of gifts I made the most Xmas gifts for others this year than perhaps ever and the joy and delight I got from it (even though I was stressed about finishing in time) was such a surprise to me. Maybe Iāve gotten better at making for others- Everything fit and everyone was happy! makes me excited to do it again maybe just start earlier than dec 1?!?!? š Peek-a-boo patterns kids button up in matching African wax print for my nephews andā¦ 4. My dad! After he opened it he said it reminds him of a Nehru style shirt he loved that someone gave him when he was a kid š„¹ (Dan shirt by @efpattern ) 5. Upstyled @quinnofeaglerock dream pants by partnering some bell bottoms on poshmark and with a little gold leather from my stash āļø 6. Used a gorgeous no-stitch leather pattern by @mprleatherworks to make some gifts out of leather in my stash- @lastassembly when are you dropping ur own ššš 7. I made this painters vest for my brother from sew what patterns on Etsy and was immediately obsessed with every detail. On him itās fitted and looks great of course but when sized up with a cute little outfit underneath on me, it gives such a cool and relaxed aesthetic. I have already made plans to make one for myself in the same size š®āšØ 8. The #mothwingcapelet by @minimalistmachinist is the project that got me out of my #NoSewJo slump in nov.

Caption : I want to close out the year having documented my last couple months of making, which was inspired by finding my-my-my sewjoā¤ļø 1. I finally decided to learn to read crochet patterns, and being a lifelong knitter, Iām glad I got over myself, as crochet has been scratching the itch that knitting has failed to accomplish the last couple years.

Caption : I used to think jumpsuits didnāt look good on me. I used to lots of things didnāt look good on me. it took me not only learning to sew my own clothes but learning to fit them to my body for me to realize that there is no such thing as *anything* not looking good on me- if it fits me how I want it to, if I made it with love and good intentions to protect and adorn this imperfect but beautiful machine thatās kept me going for 44 years, then of course itās gonna look good on me. It looks good on me because I feel good in it! And also because itās made to fit my petite frame and it cinches in at the waist just how I like it and itās in a color that makes me feel like sunshine. If the marker of looking good is just *feeling* good about how you look, it doesnāt matter what clothes you wear at all. So you might as well make them fun!

Caption : Sometimes inspiration takes on a whole life of its own. Last summer I saved a tik tok of a woman in a really cute knit shorts jumpsuit in the hopes of recreating it, but by the time I got to making it, it was winter so I amended lots of details to accommodate the cooler weather and I ended up with something completely different! I love love love how this turned out- it is SUPER comfortable, itās sporty but still feels really chic, and it doesnāt look (or fit) quite like anything Iāve seen in RTW. I used organic cotton sweatshirt fabric and matching rib knit from @wearethefabricstore and itās every bit as good as you would imagine- itās soft, the color is vivid, and the matching rib (so hard to find in fabric stores) is just icing on the cake. This ribbing is sold in traditional yardage, and I just folded it over double and sewed the edges to turn it into ankle cuffs, a collar, and details on the pockets. The jumpsuit is completely Frankensteined- I used a vintage stretch and sew womenās rugby pattern, a vintage stretch jumpsuit pattern, the pockets and leg shape of the Hudson pants, and then a little spiritual trueing to kind of meld everything together. Thankfully it actually worked! Most important pattern adjustment was elongating the front tab so that it would be wide enough to step into through the neck and it works like a charm. This has been a great make to enter into 2023 and I can already tell I will be wearing it alot and might have to make another one- maybe in a liberty print sweatshirt fabric. I took some action shots so you could see how comfy it is when I KICK (āIām FIFTY!ā) and pretend to run very hard š shoes are RTW Aasics!Likes : 2120

Caption : Another #helenawrapdress by @just_patterns in animal print rayon from @lafinchfabrics_new and a #marjorieslingbag by @heyjunehandmade in spotted leather from a local shop plus memade clogs to make round out this *last dregs of summer fit check* (though who am I kidding- it will be hot in LA til November š„µ). I am in love with the silhouette and ease of wear of this dress which is why I made it twice, but I think the instructions are unnecessarily tricky and so are a few of the pattern pieces- the explanation for making the waistband is pretty confusing and I thought it was because the first time I made it years ago I might have been tired or something, but this time around I got stumped by the exact same things! Wouldnāt recommend this to a confident beginner but it was definitely worth the trouble for how beautifully it came out- I lengthened the dress several inches to make it a maxi and otherwise made no mods. Iām on the fence about what to make next- I have one last warm weather jumpsuit on my roster and not sure if I should wait til next year or squeeze her in now, as I have *several* fall/winter pieces Iām excited about too! Love being overwhelmed by inspiration and ideas-I know that wherever I end up will be great š„°Likes : 2097

Caption : My neighborhood besties @cyndiotteson and @quinnofeaglerock gifted me the cutest diy miniature room kit to put together last year, and I loved it so much I asked for a bigger kit for christmas, and at long last, only 9 months later š„“, itās finally done! This kit was like my personal equivalent of a 1,000 piece puzzle (though Iāve never done one so I donāt know how accurate that is). All I know is that it was extremely intense, required so much focus that I felt cross eyed at the end of some sessions, and required every bit of my concentration for long periods of time. However there were also so many moments of sheer delight along the way to completing this that it truly felt worth all the extra patience I mustered from the bowels of my being. I am so proud of myself! Bear got me an amazing magnifying craft light that was a tremendous help and allowed me to do really detailed work without straining my eyes too much (I also use it for my manis!) Every single thing in this greenhouse, with the exception of the wood framing pieces, beads and the āglassā roof, was cut out, pasted, sanded, shaped, built and glued together by hand. Those teeny flowers and petals, the shovel made out of a toothpick and paper, the garden hose and faucet, all created by hand. By the time I finished this I was so curious about the brains behind the designs! Itās truly remarkable work! I will definitely be taking a break from this intricate kind of craft for a while (Iāve got a beautiful crocheted lamp next up on my list!) but I would love to do another kit one day- @rolife_official has so many beautiful designs but I obviously wanna make the dressmakerās boutique and one of the bakery/kitchen builds, too. Truly canāt explain how much delight this piece has given me, and now I think I might build some floating shelves to really show these pieces off!Likes : 2084
